the breeding of the pack, viz., Mr. G. S. Foljambe, 

 my father, and myself. Also from 1822 to 1907 

 (with the exception of one winter, when I was in 

 India), the hounds have only been hunted by four 

 persons, viz., Mr. G. S. Foljambe (till 1844), Will 

 Merry, (till 1861), Jack Morgan, and myself. 



At the end of the book will be found a list of 

 all the Hunt servants who have been employed by 

 me, but I wish to put on record a special notice 

 about Sam Morgan. He was my first whipper-in

Some of my favourite dog hounds who helped

 Hermit (1873-1880), a blue dog, Reginald (1873- 

 1882, this dog's head is in my presentation pic-

 Rummager (1885-1897), Harkaway (1885-1891), 

 Warrior (1887-1895), Gimcrack (1888-1897), Da- 

 mon (1892-1902), Abelard (1894-1904), Saladin 

 (1896-1904), Anchorite (1897-1904), Pedlar (1898- 

 1907), Bluecap (1901), and he is still running hard, 

 when I sold the hounds.

 separate packs — a very level beautiful pack of both
